Local transport plan
The Local Transport Plan for Merseyside was submitted by the Merseyside Partners in July 2000 and consisted of a 10 year strategy and a 5 year plan for delivering integrated transport solutions to address social, economic and environmental issues across Merseyside.
The Merseyside Partners are:
- Merseytravel
- Liverpool City Council
- Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council
- Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council
- St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council
- Metropolitan Borough of Wirral Council
The LTP sets four core objectives for supporting the inclusive sustainable regeneration of Merseyside:
- Objective One
To ensure that transport supports sustainable economic development and regeneration. - Objective Two
To moderate the upward trend in car use and secure a shift to more sustainable forms of transport such as walking, cycling and public transport. - Objective Three
To secure the most efficient and effective use of the existing transport network. - Objective Four
To enhance the quality of life of those living or working in, or visiting Merseyside.
